==Overview==
==Causes==
Some causes of lactose intolerance are well known. Primary [[lactase]] deficiency is a condition that develops over time. After about age 2 the body begins to produce less lactase, though most people will not notice symptoms until they are much older. Secondary lactase deficiency occurs when injury to the small intestine or certain digestive diseases reduce the amount of lactase a person produces. These diseases include [[celiac disease]], [[inflammatory bowel disease]], and [[Crohn’s disease]].

Overview

The most common cause of lactose intolerance is acquired primary lactase deficiency. Less common causes of lactose intolerance include Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Infections such as giardiasis, Drug induced enteritis, Celiac sprue, Tropical sprue, and Whipple's disease.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

  • Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of lactose intolerance.

Common Causes

The most common cause of lactose intolerance is

  • Acquired primary lactase deficiency (lactase nonpersistence, adult-type hypolactasia)[1][2]

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of lactose intolerance include:

Genetic Causes

  • Lactose intolerance is caused by a mutation in the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene.[9][10][11]
